A Hunger Games Writing
Workshop
March 7th at 1:00pm to 3:00pm Ages 13-17
Brainerd Public Library
The workshop is free, but requires registration, register by calling 829-5574
Suzanne Collins’s fast-paced, plot-driven novels had us all up late at night turning pages, so in this workshop, we’ll slow things down and examine why. Looking at characterization, tone, point of view, and style, we’ll analyze why these books are so absorbing and discuss how we can learn from them as writers. Limited space available.

For 8 weeks this summer, kids flocked to the Brainerd Public Library for the Summer Reading Program "One World Many Stories." Children traveled the world this summer by exploring exotic places such as Africa and Antarctica through stories, guest speakers, crafts, music, dance, and other activities. We have seen imaginations opened to a world that TV and video games just cannot provide.
